1. The changing demands of the twenty-first century: challenges to technical and vocational education; 2. Improving systems providing education and training throughout life; 3. Innovating the education and training process; 4. TVE for all; 5. Changing roles of government and other stakeholders in TVE; and 6. Enhancing international co-operation in TVE. Innovation and reform of technical and vocational education in the Republic of Korea was also introduced during the Congress as a special theme. Prior to the Congress, a series of regional and sub-regional preparatory conferences were organised to bring into focus the experience and needs of TVE in regions and sub-regions as follows: • UNESCO-UNEVOC International Conference on Vocational Education in the Asia- Pacific Region (25-27 March 1998, Adelaide, Australia), organised by the Adelaide Institute of TAFE in co-operation with UNESCO Headquarters; • Regional Symposium on Vocational Education and Training in Europe on the Threshold of the 21st Century (23-26, September 1998, Crete, Greece), organised by the Greek Organisation for Vocational Education and Training (OEEK) in co-operation with the UNESCO-UNEVOC Implementation Unit in Berlin; • Regional Conference for the Arab States in preparation for the Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education (1-4 November 1998, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates), organised by the Higher Colleges of Technology of United Arab Emirates, in co-operation with UNESCO Office in Beirut; • Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education (23-27 November 1998, Quito, Ecuador), organised by UNESCO Office in Santiago de Chile; • African Regional Consultation for Preparation of the Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education (24-27 November 1998, Nairobi, Kenya), organised jointly by UNESCO Office in Dakar and UNESCO Office in Dar es Salaam; and • Sub-regional Preparatory Meeting for the Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education in the Countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Central and Eastern Europe (10-12 March 1999, Moscow, the Russian Federation), organised by the Russian Federation Ministry of General and Professional Education, Moscow Education Commission and UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (IITE). ∼ 2 ∼
A Main Working Document was prepared by UNESCO (the Section for Technical and Vocational Education) based on the contributions made by selected experts in the field of TVE and disseminated prior to the Congress. Six reference documents addressing major issues in TVE were prepared by UNESCO’s partner organisations. A list of documents is attached as an Annex. Opening The Opening Session of the Congress began at 9:00 am on 26 April 1999 in the Inter- Continental Hotel, in the presence of Mr KIM Jong-pil, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea and Mr Federico MAYOR, Director-General of UNESCO. In his welcome address, the Prime Minister underlined the importance of the work carried out by UNESCO to promote technical and vocational education world-wide “to give individuals the skills they need for change.” “It is timely and useful,” he said, “that delegates from UNESCO’s Member States gather here to find the road for the future of technical and vocational education, contributing both to individual nations’ development and to international cooperation.” Mr Federico MAYOR, Director-General of UNESCO, in his opening address, strongly urged “the governments of Member States, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations and the development agencies to join UNESCO’s efforts to renew commitment to education,” which he described as “a matter of extreme urgency.” Mr MAYOR said “Seoul is the most appropriate venue for this Congress because the Republic of Korea has proved beyond any doubt that education, including technical and vocational education and training, is a decisive factor in development.” Highlighting the challenges of the 21 st century, he said: “Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life, the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance. Education builds a culture of peace. Governments need to be more aware of the social and economic relevance of skills and should provide technical and vocational education with a commensurate share of social investment.” Mr MAYOR called on international funding agencies to “transform part of the developing countries’ debt into educational funding, particularly for technical and vocational education.” Mrs Mitsuko HORIUCHI, Assistant Director-General of the International Labour Office (ILO) delivered a congratulatory address. She spoke of the long-standing co-operation between ILO and UNESCO, notably in the field of vocational education and training. She also mentioned “ILO’s efforts to develop a more adaptable labour force targeting smoother transitions from school to work; public/private sector partnerships for the delivery of training and the promotion of life-long learning.” Mr LEE Hai-chan, Minister of Education of the Republic of Korea officially declared the Congress open. ∼ 3 ∼
